This invention relates to improvements in hygienic collar strip containers for attachments to barbers chairs.

An object of the invention is to provide an attachment for the purpose of receiving a roll of hygienic or sanitary paper, which roll is placed in a casing of the attachment, and is so constructed that any desired length of strip may be readily withdrawn from the roll and then severed. The severed strip is tucked into the neck band of the customer by the barher, thus protecting him in a hygienic sense. Oftentimes a customer objects to having the band of the usual towel tucked into his neck band, especially in warm weather.

The casing is provided with a removable cover for inserting the new roll.

Spring means is provided for readily placing the attachment on the usual barbers chair and for its ready removal.

Referring to the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the back portion of a barbers chair showing the attachment in place.

Fig. 2 is a front elevational and enlarged View partially broken away.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the attachment.

Fig. 1 is an enlarged view with the cover removed.

Fig. 5 is a fragmental view of the casing with the strip severing cover or cutter member drawn back and the end of the paper strip drawn out.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view on the line 66 of Fig. 5, and

Fig. 7 is asectional view on the line 77 of Fig. 2 of the spring construction, which retains the attachment in place.

Referring to the drawing in detail:

1 designates the back part of a barbers chair having the side pieces 2. 3 designates the attachment as a whole which comprises the circular shaped base member or plate 4 to which the hollow arms 5 and 6 are integrally connected. Slidably located in these arms are the hook members 7 and 8, to the inner ends of which are connected the retractile springs 9. The other ends of these springs are connected to the rods or bars 10,

which are secured to the integral arms 5 and 6, as shown.

The normal tendency, therefore, is to pull or draw the hooks 7 and 8 inwardly towards each other for retaining the attachment in place on the back of the chair. 11 designates a roll of the hygienic paper, which is supported on a suitable pin or shaft at its center. The free end 12 of this strip passes over a brake or friction plate 13, the end of which terminates near the opening 14:, as shown. The cover 21 is formed with a shoulder or anvil part 15 over which the withdrawn end 16 of the paper passes. 17 designates a slidable cutter plate mounted on the cover having a sharpened end, whereby when this plate is moved from the position shown in Fig. 5 to that in Fig. 6, the withdrawn end 16 will be severed. The outter plate 17 is retained in place on the cover 21 by means of the screws 18, which have their heads located in grooves 19,in the underside of the cover and their threaded ends are connected to the plate 17. 20 is an op erating thumb piece for this plate.

The cover 21 is a cover or cap member, which is removably connectedto thebase member or plate 4 by means of the slots 22 through which the shanks of the thumb screws 23 extend. 24 are clamping plates which are located on the base member 1 which plates engage the inner surface of the cover 21 when it is in place; it being understood that the flange of the cover 21 is located in the spaces 25, (see Fig. 4:) when the thumb screws 23 are tightened. It is of course obvious that when the thumb screws 23 are loosened, the plates 24 will release their grips on the cover 21, whereby it may be withdrawn and a new roll of paper 11 inserted.

It is, of course, obvious that the attachment, as a whole, may be removed by sim ply drawing outward on the spring actuated hooks, 7 and 8.

What I claim is:

1. An attachment for the purpose described, comprising a plate member for receivlng a roll of paper, a cover having an outlet opening for withdrawing the paper, means for slidably attaching a cutter to the outer surface of the cover, comprising recesses on the inner surface of the cover, screws in the recesses and connected to the cutter which cutter extends over the opening in one 5 position for severing the end of a strip of paper comprising the roll and is movable away from the opening in another position to permit the end of a strip to be withdrawn from the cover, and a friction device secured t0 the cover for retaining the end of the strip in the opening.

2. An attachment for barber's chairs, comprising a cover with an opening for withdrawing the end of a strip of paper, a base 5 member, means for removabiy securing the cover to the base member comprising plates on the base member and spaced from the edge of the base member, thumb screws rotatably connected to the cover, and threaded into the plates, the cover having slots in its edge for receiving the screws, whereby, when the edge of the cover is inserted between the plates and the edge of the base member and the screws are tightened, the cover is secured to the base member.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto atfixed my signature.

GEORGE POTTERN.
